poor; and rather cunning。 A stiff bit of hair stood straight off

his forehead; the rest fitted close to his meagre head。 He was

pale and colourless。

〃Who told you to call out?〃 thundered Mr。 Harby。

The boy looked up and down; with a guilty air; and a cunning;

cynical reserve。

〃Please; sir; I was answering;〃 he replied; with the same

humble insolence。

〃Go to my desk。〃

The boy set off down the room; the big black jacket hanging

in dejected folds about him; his thin legs; rather knocked at

the knees; going already with the paupers crawl; his feet in

their big boots scarcely lifted。 Ursula watched him in his

crawling; slinking progress down the room。 He was one of her

boys! When he got to the desk; he looked round; half furtively;

with a sort of cunning grin and a pathetic leer at the big boys

in Standard VII。 Then; pitiable; pale; in his dejected garments;

he lounged under the menace of the headmasters desk; with one

thin leg crooked at the knee and the foot struck out sideways

his hands in the low…hanging pockets of his mans jacket。

Ursula tried to get her attention back to the class。 The boy

gave her a little horror; and she was at the same time hot with

pity for him。 She felt she wanted to scream。 She was responsible

for the boys punishment。 Mr。 Harby was looking at her

handwriting on the board。 He turned to the class。

〃Pens down。〃

The children put down their pens and looked up。

〃Fold arms。〃

They pushed back their books and folded arms。

Ursula; stuck among the back forms; could not extricate

herself。

〃What is your position about?〃 asked the

headmaster。 Every hand shot up。 〃The 〃 stuttered

some voice in its eagerness to answer。
